Specializes in Psychiatry

You can start w med: eval. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or insight oriented psychotherapy can help. Spend time w people even if by text, emails or phone. Use your support system. Get fresh air if possible. Get at least 8 hours of sleep/night & eat healthfully. Daily aerobic physical activity is a big +. Try acupuncture, tai chi, qi gong, yoga or meditation. Recommend the “Feeling Good Book" by Dr. David Burn
